New Missile News Service debuts!Hey it's our first article!

A new missile news service is here. Thanks to an agreement with the Air Force News Service the Mercenary Missileer will now carry stories and press releases of interest to current and former Air Force missileers. These stories will be brought to you by the men and women of the Air Force News Service and the public affairs offices of the various space wings, usually on a daily basis. The site will also carry feeds that will link to current national and international news stories on the subjects of missiles and weapons of mass destruction. Got a story to share, want to write an article (if you're still on active duty check with your chain of command and PA first!)? Drop us a line!

The Mercenary Missileer has also teamed up with the good folks at the Association of Air Force Missileers to sponsor The Missile Forums. This is a place where Air Force missileers, both past and present, can get together to discuss the issues of the day, share stories of alerts past, and meet up with old friends.

Two other features of the newly redesigned site include ICBM Program Quotes, a little bit of the 'lighter side' of missile related duty produced on an irregular basis, and Today in Missile History, an (almost) daily look at our roots as well as our recent past. Got a quote? Did we overlook the history of your unit or weapon system? Let us know!

We hope you enjoy the our website, a site for missileers by missileers.
